Listing the wood on whisky menus

This is probably only interesting to drunk nerds like me. In a press release for the StripSteak restaurant at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, they tout their scotch selection, which at 120 single-malts is pretty good. But I was interested in the statement about the menu:

The comprehensive program features a focused list of more than 120 single malt selections spanning the fertile production regions of Scotland. Broken down first by region, then by producer, age and finishing wood, the list is among the largest in the United States.

Scotch producers are using all sorts of finishing casks these days, now including lots of different types of wine. This is the first menu on which I've seen the finishing wood listed prominently. I asked to see a copy of the menu, which is 51 pages long. Each distillery is described, then the whiskies are listed like this:

Glenmorangie, 12 Year Old, Burgundy Wood Finish 15

Silky, soft, tangy, cinnamon, spicy, sweet fruit and oak notes, nice length with more fruit on the finish

Glenmorangie, 12 Year Old, Madeira Wood Finish 15

Soft and dry, spicy, baked cake, buttery, toffee flavors, clove, nutty, sweet, medium finish

And like I said, you probably have to be a whisky nerd to find that cool.
